Lifter tap? That's a spun bearing you fucking idiot.

=/

Yeah man, I had a HUNCH that your shit was, in truth, knocking. But I didnt want to be "that guy". Thats totally the last sound my SR ever made.




Internet hug.

:/

Sorry to hear man

Thanks ya'll. Hopefully the damage isn't really bad since Ive been streeting it like that haha. Going to try and hopefully have it fixed by the next Dday.

Okay so I have 3 options.

Option 1. Buy another SR and be able to drive the rest of the season and at dday and do a mild build on the other motor over winter.

Option 2. Fix my motor. Which Pavel wont be able to even look at until early October so DDay is out of the question. Put it in for whatever time of the season is left and then pull it again because the original plan was to do a mild build over the winter anyways.

Option 3. Say fuck it for the rest of the season. Build motor over winter. Get paid.


And when I say "build" all I really mean is do headwork/cams/2871r/ etc. The works pretty much.

How much do you really wanna drive is the real question?

Just give it a tune up, drive it, turn radion up......

this. hahah



but why wait for that pavel dude, i know a guy out here who could prob get you in pretty quickly for the engine work..

Talkin about RT? or who?

pavel has my motor right now and its pretty much what mike wants dude is like a magician hes double checking my work from school and he does get deals on acl/arp stuff

yea rt, only person to ever work on my car other than me lol


edit - not saying theres anything wrong with this pavel guy, just saying theres more than one person around here who can build a motor..

I'll call RT tomorrow. I just like the fact that Pavel is 20 minutes from me, instead of an hour haha. We'll see what happens.

for sure, i know what you mean, RT is about 5 minutes from where I'm at if you need someone to go check on your shit hahah

I'm just thinking this month is a lot closer than next season.

Motor is RT's shop. He still has to tear it down and such and let me know what all is fucked. Really wish I had a garage so I could be doing this myself.

Lets get a place! Heard teo is down

But hopefully nothing is too fucked up

Hope it's a cheap fix

So this dude has this motor for sale

http://www.jdmchicago.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26384

Freshly rebuilt with some upgraded stuff etc
But has some noise in the bottom end now.
Would it be a good idea to buy this then fix whatever is broken which is probably the same shit that's whats up with my motor and then have a minty motor. Or do yall think its that cheap for a reason. Opinions?

Go check it out, pull the pan and mains and check em out. See if the rod bearings have any play. Would take like 20 minutes, ive done that shit

Just saw it was done by class one, if thats true they do good shit. Check the date on the receipt to see when it was built

I wouldn't dude. It's easy for someone to post/ say that it's good. But you gotta install it, then switch it over and get it running.
Then run the risk of it not running and starting back from square one. Just take whatever
your going to spend on this engine and rebuild yours, that way you at least know that everything is and will be fresh.

Oem internals and call it a day.

^100%
Fuck buying assembled motors with "mystery" noises.

agree with trucky for sure, fuck putting that shit together and fixing what you thought was the noise, only to find out there was more than 1 noise or some shit.

rebuild what you got, if you have spare cash pick that other one up but only if you plan on doing a full rebuild and just want a good spare..

If only you lived near. I would sell you my blacktop at acquaintance price.

So I'm not sure exactly whats going on with the motor but its been at the dudes shop for like a month a half. Whatever.

Sold my Mooneyes and got Edgars old Corsica from Kevin. (I have a thing for Edgars old parts)
Got one of those Stance steering column bushings and sort of put that in.
And ordered some blue window nets to compliment my blue harness.
Ive also put some vinyl on it here and there so I'll post a picture of that when I get around to it.
I really want a red seat now. Trying to find someone to trade my black Zeta for their red Vios, but I think I might just sell it and order the Maxis.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.


MY WINDOW NETSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Im gonna go put my nets and my seat and harness in my empty shell just so I dont feel like I lost.



I'm so happy you got my old OMP! I would have bought that Mooneyes back, I put in some heavy street hours with that one. So into that whole post really.
